Max's POVI sighed tiredly as I arrived in front of my office after the long meeting and flipped the door open."Wait a minute", I muttered on entering the room and frowned.Where the hell was Shayna? Has the party ended already? That is very much unlike her."Or did that bitch annoy Shayna?", I pondered out loud and immediately tried to mind-link Shayna but her wolf was shut off.Minutes later, I was laying down on my bed now in my room at the palace. I still haven't gotten through to Shayna or seen her but that was the least of my problems right now.I just need a good rest.'You must take me for a fool to think I would believe such a thing!', I remembered once I closed my eyes. I still couldn't believe that bitch had said that to me, she doesn't know what I have already planned for her.Sammie...I have been planning on how I would torture her ever since I found out that she was my mate shortly after getting my wolf. How could the Moon goddess give me that outcast as a mate? She ce
Max's POVI never found Sammie despite all my efforts so I gave up after a week of searching. I still couldn't dismiss the feeling that Shayna was responsible for Sammie's disappearance but I had no proof so had to keep the thought to myself.Life went on anyway with no one caring about Sammie's disappearance, even her own father, and I had even less time to myself as the days passed as the preparations for my coronation intensified.I really didn't mind being kept busy as despite my large circle of acquaintances, I didn't have much of a life aside from being the alpha's son. Being busy also kept me free from Shayna's disturbances, she was way too clingy."There have been rumors of an enemy pack wanting to attack us before the coronation", one of the council members brought up during the meeting of the werecouncil where I was presently seated in."How trustworthy is your source?", my father asked him."I would normally give that informant anything between sixty and ninety percent trus
Sammie's POVI couldn't wait to get to my bed and have a nice rest. I was so tired from learning different disgusting things all day but what could I have done? I had to complete my training on how to be a prostitute.The auction was in two days and today was the last day of learning. The next two days were going to be our resting days and finally, it would be the auction day.The entire day would be spent in preparing us for the auction and once it was nightfall, the auction would begin. We would be sold for the night to the highest bidder one after the other and only returned to the brothel the following day.I would no longer be undefiled but my virginity just had to be the price for my freedom. There was no other way out but with my dignity given away, I could leave any day I decided and the day I had decided on was the day after my return.The seniors had said that we would spend the day of our return being taken care of by Lady Frey and the day afterward would be a free day befo
Max's POVIt had felt like my world was crumbling the moment I saw Sammie on that podium. Those men were staring at her, my mate! How dare they? I still felt like transforming into my wolf and tearing every single one of them all apart.I knew I despised her but she was still mine until whenever I decided to reject her. No one was allowed to ogle her.So immediately after the parade ended, I had put aside all thoughts of getting information on enemy packs and instead went to find the so-called Lady Frey.She had refused to allow me to buy Sammie, claiming that she would make more money if she kept her girls for the auction and telling me to come back after the auction if I was still interested.She was trying to say that I should let another man have his way with my mate before I could take her back and not even for free.Thankfully, I had brought a lot of money with me as Gerald told me that I might need it to convince some people to give me information so I began to slowly bring out
Sammie’s POV'When did my pillow get so soft?', I thought to myself as I faded into consciousness and I was about to turn when I realized I couldn't move.My eyes immediately flipped open only for them to meet a sight that I had never thought I would ever see even in my wildest dreams: Max was sleeping beside me!Not exactly beside though, more like on top of me.His head was resting on my chest with half of his body resting on me such that our legs were tangled together and his arms were tightly wrapped around me.Is this a dream?'Wake up Samantha, wake up! How can you have this kind of dream about your enemy?', I yelled at myself internally but the sight wasn't going away.'It's not going away because it's not a dream! Mate is sleeping with you', Lily whispered and I felt like rubbing my eyes to make sure I was seeing well only to realize that they were secured at my side by Max.No, this can't be real.'Of course, it's real, where do you think you are for your pillow to be so soft
Max's POVI did not expect that Mother would be nearby. This should be easy though, she usually didn't ask too many questions. Father was the one who would have been a challenge."Oh, I'm going to have a guest soon", I answered."And that guest will be staying?""Yes, for a while""Oh, okay", she shrugged.I knew she would not be difficult to handle."Who is your guest though?", a new voice asked and I frowned.The pest who went by the name Shayna was here again. I sincerely had no idea why she was idle enough to come to spend the entirety of her days in the palace regardless of whether I was home or not."I believe that's none of your business", I snarled at her."Max! Don't talk to Shayna that way", Mother complained and I began heading to the table ignoring the both of them.Mother was very nice to Shayna because she was grateful to her for being with me though we weren't mates. She wouldn't be so grateful if she figured I have a mate though. Mother was a stickler for the tradition
Max's POV"Young Alpha, I've taken the food to your bedroom""Good. Now just make sure you keep your mouth shut about that unless you don't value your life", I threatened in reply, and could see uncontrolled fear flash through her eyes."Yes, sir", she stammered and hurried away.Minutes later, I arrived in my room and met Sammie still sitting on the floor, seeming just like she was when I had left the room."Don't tell me you've been sitting there since I left the room", I muttered in disbelief."I have""Didn't I tell you to take a bath?""I don't want to", she slowly replied and I smirked internally.Even though her tone was still servile, the daring Sammie was starting to come back to me."Don't you think you lost the right to decide on whether to take a bath or not the moment you walked out of this pack about four weeks ago?""What do you mean?", she asked seeming genuinely confused."I know enough of the outside world to know that while you were in that despicable place, you had
Sammie's POVI stared at Max's shirt after I was done bathing for minutes wondering if I was going to put it on or not. It was weird to wear his clothes but I knew that refusing to wear them presently wasn't an option.The last thing I wanted right now was for him to hit me. He hadn't hit me since buying me even though he was rough sometimes and I wanted to keep it that way.Before I used to stand up to Max thinking he would leave me alone if he saw that I wasn't a weakling, that never worked though. Now, however, it was no use standing up to him, he did buy me so I was his slave. That was how it was going to be till he got tired of me so I needed to start acting like a real slave.'A slave doesn't wear her master's clothes though, only his lady', Lily whispered.'Why are you whispering? It's because you know how ridiculous you sound, isn't it?', I fired back at my wolf.'You should not think so lowly of mate', she protests and I immediately cut her off.She was always on Max's side o
